I know this has probably been discussed here a zillion times so my apologies but is there *anywhere* other than evilbay to find the Bottega Veneta that she carries now again ? I have wanted it since it first came out and have been wishing for it ever since :( You would think if BV knows how popular this bag is that they might reissue it?!?!??!

If anyone knows or has info I'd greatly appreciate it! Thanks so much.

this bag was available to special order from bv for a hefty premium -- i don't know if they still offer this service.

Just curious how much would it be if you could special order? How does one work that...not that I have any funds due to a paypal nightmare but maybe in the future...thanks!

It originally sold for around $2500. I don't know if they still would honor that price or not. SO's at BV are 30% additional, I think.

I don't think that is it. I will try to get a photo of it for you.

one of the tpfer here got hers from ebay a while ago...so you might to be able to find one that route.

if you love it so dearly then placing a SO is the safest way to go. good luck!

The one with the braided handle is more recent. The surface texture looks similar in a photo but IRL they are very different.

Actually Jen's purse, though pretty, isn't that convenient to get into and out of. You couldn't open it easily with one hand, because of the length of the zipper and the way it goes down the side. I'm not describing it well, but you would need both hands to open it. It's soft as silk, though.

There was one on ebay a few weeks ago. It was initially priced at $4000 but reduced to $3,500 and sold for that price.

Good memory, 88keys! I forgot about that and it wasn't that long ago. I can't remember if the seller mentioned in the listing what she paid for it. I don't think she did--just that she special-ordered it.
